Probate & Dying without a Will
At Hansells, we take a sympathetic but very practical approach to the complete process, from registering the death and arranging the funeral, to the completion of the Estate administration. We’ll make sure you know your duties as an Executor, or if necessary, advise you on Intestacy, which is what happens when someone dies without a Will.
Probate and Estate Administration needs careful management to avoid pitfalls for Executors and Beneficiaries. Even with a professionally prepared Will in place Executors may still require expert help in order to administer the Estate.
Most importantly, we’ll give you a clear indication of the costs and a very helpful ‘timeline’ so that you’ll be able to understand and plan the entire sequence of the administration.
